SIMULATION RESULTS & DISCUSSION

5.0 INTRODUCTION

This chapter deals with testing of GSHDC algorithm for IEEE

test systems. The standard IEEE 14, 30 and 57 systems are

considered to investigate the effectiveness of the proposed

methodology. The test is carried with a 1.4-GHz Pentium-IV PC. The

GSHDC has been developed by the use of MATLAB version 7. The

simulation results are compared with other popular methodologies in

judicious way.

GSHDC Method is implemented for two Test cases:

Test-1: Suboptimal Solution obtained through IP method

Test-2: Suboptimal Solution obtained through PSO method

Suboptimal solution is obtained for two individual objectives and

one Multi-objective:

Objective-1: Minimum Fuel Cost

Objective-2: Minimum Power Loss

Using the OPF solutions obtained through objective-1 &2 as

parent chromosomes, population is generated for the multi-objective

OPF problem. This is referred as:

Objective-3: Multi-Objective

GSHDC is implemented for each Test case and each objective for

three case studies that is, three IEEE Test systems.

Case-1: IEEE 14-Bus System

189

Case-2: IEEE 30-Bus System

Case-3: IEEE 57-Bus System

In addition to above two tests, GSHDC is also implemented with

suboptimal solution obtained through modified penalty factor method

to test its effectiveness. This case is referred as Test-3.

Simulation Test results are presented as per the following tree

diagram shown in the Fig.5.1

Tree diagram can be read as follows:

high density cluster for minimum fuel cost is formed in the vicinity of

suboptimal solution by GSHDC-PSO Algorithm. Finally with the help

namely, minimum cost. The test results include the total cost of

When compared to GSHDC-IP, the results of GSHDC-PSO are better in

all the three cases. Though, GSHDC-PSO is giving best results, for the

single objective of minimum fuel cost and the single objective of

minimum losses, individually, the MOGA-GSHDC (PSO based) is

giving a better compromised OPF solution including both fuel cost

and losses.

5.5 OPF SIMULATION RESULTS - IEEE 14 BUS TEST SYSTEM-

MODIFIED PENALTY FACTOR METHOD

In addition to suboptimal solutions obtained through IP and

PSO methods, a modified penalty factor method presented in Section

5.4 is used to obtain suboptimal solution or a core point in High

Density Cluster. This section presents results for this case.

The GSHDC -penalty factor performance is evaluated on the

standard IEEE 30-bus test system [27]. The system consists of 41-

lines, 6-generators, 4-Tap-hanging transformers and shunt capacitor

banks located at 9-buses. The test is carried with a 1.4-GHz Pentium-

IV PC. The GSHDC -penalty factor has been developed by the use of

numerical difference can be ignored. The EGA [103] for an IEEE30-

Bus system is carried out with a computer having the same

configuration as mentioned above. Now, the comparison is made in

terms of generation cost and CPU time. The GSHDC -penalty factor

method gave less cost of generation. The GSHDC-penalty factor

method has completed objective-1 study in 8 seconds and objective-1

and objective -2 together in 12 seconds in contrast to 85 seconds that

is taken by EGA method. The authors of EGA method in their

conclusions have mentioned the high execution time of their method.

This proves the GSHDC-penalty factor method is quite acceptable for

large size power systems and for on-line studies.

Next, the performance of GSHDC-penalty factor is compared with the

other methods and is tabulated in Table-5.46. For a given system

load and total generation, the results of GSHDC -penalty factor

method is found better as compared to other existing methods.

However, Test-1 (sub optimal solution by IP method) and Test-2 (sub

optimal solution by PSO method) are much superior. Hence, Test-3

case (sub optimal solution by modified penalty factor method) is not

considered and not studied for other case studies like 14, and 57 bus

systems.

GSHDC-PSO gives the best results. However, simulation results

indicate the multi-objective results are not far deviating from the best

results obtained from the single objective case studies.

This section presents comparative results of GSHDC-PSO with

the existing methodologies. A typical case study of IEEE 30-Bus

system is taken for the performance evaluation of the proposed

GSHDC-PSO. The comparison results are presented in Table 5.47.

Table-5.47 COMPARISON OF GSHDC-PSO OPF RESULTS WITH

As seen in Table 5.47, the results of GSHDC-PSO method are

found better as compared to other existing methods. Further, the

results obtained through MOGA-GSHDC (PSO based) are comparable

with those of GSHDC-PSO and better than other methods. Losses as

well as CPU time using GSHDC-PSO are much improved. Though the

single objective (of minimum fuel cost) GSHDC-PSO is giving best

minimum fuel cost, but the MOGA-GSHDC (PSO based) is giving a

better compromised OPF solution between losses and cost.

5.7 CONCLUSIONS

A novel method for the solution of Optimal Power Flow is

proposed in this chapter. The limitations of analytical and intelligent

methods have been overcome by the proposed methods namely,

GSHDC-IP Method, GSHDC-PSO Method, MOGA-GSHDC (IP based)

and MOGA-GSHDC (PSO based).

In this chapter, testing of GSHDC-IP Algorithm, for OPF problem

using suboptimal solution obtained by Interior Point Method is carried

out to obtain solution individually for minimum fuel cost and

minimum power loss. In addition testing of MOGA-GSHDC (IP based)

Algorithm has been carried out to obtain multi objective solution

simultaneously for minimum fuel cost and minimum power loss. The

testing of these Algorithms has been done for the well-known standard

IEEE test cases such as 14-bus system, 30-bus system and 57-bus

system.

Similarly, testing of GSHDC-PSO Algorithm for OPF problem

using suboptimal solution obtained by PSO Method is carried out to

obtain solution individually for minimum fuel cost and minimum

power loss. In addition testing of MOGA-GSHDC (IP based) Algorithm

has been carried out to obtain multi objective solution simultaneously

for minimum fuel cost and minimum power loss.

When compared to GSHDC-IP, the results of GSHDC-PSO are

better in all the three cases. Though, GSHDC-PSO is giving best

results, for the single objective of minimum fuel cost and the single

objective of minimum losses, individually, the MOGA-GSHDC (PSO

232

based) is giving a better compromised OPF solution including both

fuel cost and losses.

Further, results of GSHDC-PSO are compared with the existing

methodologies. A typical case study of IEEE 30-Bus system is taken

for the performance evaluation of the proposed GSHDC-PSO. The

results of GSHDC-PSO method are found better as compared to other

existing methods. Further, the results obtained through MOGA-

GSHDC (PSO based) are comparable with those of GSHDC-PSO and

better than other methods. Losses as well as CPU time using GSHDC-

PSO are much improved. Though the single objective (of minimum

fuel cost) GSHDC-PSO is giving best minimum fuel cost, but the

MOGA-GSHDC (PSO based) is giving a better compromised OPF

solution between losses and cost.
